Frequently Asked Questions about Endodontic treatment
There are a number of reasons why root canal therapy unexpectedly fails, including:
- Cracked crown leaking filling material.
- Curved or narrow canals not treated during the original procedure.
- Delay in the placement of restorative devices following the procedure.
- New decay to the tooth.
- Saliva entering the restorative structure.
- Undetected complex canal structures.
- An abscess (or pimple) on the gums.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold.
- Severe toothache pain.
- Sometimes no symptoms are present.
- Swelling and/or tenderness.
- Decay has reached the tooth pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth).
- Infection or abscess have developed inside the tooth or at the root tip.
- Injury or trauma to the tooth.
After treatment, your tooth may still be sensitive, but this will subside as the inflammation diminishes and the tooth has healed.
